In this warm-spirited story, a perfect day of backyard adventures for three lively boys and two mischievous squirrels unfolds, and then gently comes to an end. As moonlight fills the sky, it's time for a soothing lullaby. Critically acclaimed author Deborah Wiles and talented illustrator Tim Bowers have created a loving and lyrical lullaby that introduces simple counting--and that will send little ones everywhere off into sweet dreams under one wide sky.

This is the perfect book for lulling your small children off to sleep -- particularly in the summertime! It's a gentle and sweet story that's also a counting book, so the kid on your lap can count up to ten and then back down with the story. Warm, funny pictures, too. Excellent!
